“Goodbye, Li Qiao” tells the story of four senior high school students who were on the verge of collapsing due to their respective family problems, estrangement with their parents, sufferings and irreconcilable difficulties. However, because of a message left on the bus, they became friends by accident, comforted each other, and walked together for a short time.... more>>

The novel uses multiple narrative perspectives and a first-person perspective to tell the story of the rifts in the families of these four teenagers. Some parents are naturally flawed, easily prompt to anger and become s*aves to violence. Some are forced to suffer by life and have nowhere to pour their bitterness, driving them to vent their sufferings on their children. Some parents separate halfway and transfer their disappointment to their children.

Four teenagers who are in apprehensive and confusing predicaments. Their similar painful experiences made them quickly become friends. During the summer vacation after their college entrance examination, they enjoyed the rare happiness in each other’s company. Starting a college life separated them from each other after being on the same road for a short time. Ten years later, the appearance of the mysterious number 170503 revealed a secret past.

The background family is crucial to the growth of teenagers, and some people may take a lifetime to heal from the injuries they suffer while growing up. The novel profoundly reveals this social issue and should arouse the attention and thinking of society and parents. The mutual understanding and friendship between peers with the same fate add warmth to the novel, which is both warm and healing. <<less

Qin Lu is an actor in the entertainment industry and the heir to a wealthy family. He had gotten into a car accident and was later saved by Jiang Lu. In order to repay the favor, he decided to fulfill his wish and introduce him to high-quality blind dates. 

Qin Lu: He is a great director, upstarting in the entertainment industry.

Later: He is a male chauvinist, so I don’t know. 

Qin Lu: Ah! This one is my good friend. He is a rich second generation. I know him quite well. It’s all good.

At his older brother’s funeral, Xie Hou encountered the male “widow.”

On a silent, rainy night, Shen Cizhu was surrounded by a group of dignitaries and led into the cemetery. He stopped in front of Xie Hou, lifting his umbrella, revealing the green eyes deeply etched in Xie Hou’s memory.

It seemed like he had been crying, and his striking beauty had become fragile as a result.

“Condolences,” Xie Hou said in a soft voice.

“Thank you,” Shen Cizhu replied hoarsely.

At the funeral, they pretended not to know each other, as if the night of their reckless passion had never happened.

After the crowd dispersed, the cemetery was cold.

Xie Hou looked down at Shen Cizhu, who was still kneeling in front of the tombstone. He leaned over, holding Shen Cizhu’s chin to make him look up. “Ge ge is gone. What will you do now?”

Shen Cizhu suddenly looked up.

“In that case,” Xie Hou, with an appearance of purity and coldness, murmured like an adulterer, “please let me replace Ge ge and inherit you.”

Shen Cizhu was adored by everyone.

In the eyes of others, Shen Cizhu was a noble son from a top-tier family, appearing compassionate and gentle, like the most sacred apple in the Garden of Eden.

But it was all a façade, and only Xie Hou knew his true nature.

The real Shen Cizhu had a destructive personality. He was gorgeous, arrogant, and greedy, harboring a permanent desire for control and possession over others. He was the most cunning and venomous snake in the Garden of Eden.

A venomous snake would never see itself as cruel; it would only follow its predatory instincts to ensnare its prey with a seductive whisper, and in an instant, its fangs would pierce the prey’s throat.

This predatory game was dangerous and rewarding for Xie Hou.

“My dear, it was clearly me who dragged you into hell, so why do you see me as your savior?”

Hormones can trigger the human instinct to seek a partner, but will your genes accept your partner?

Xie Hou had been conducting this research all along.

However, when everything seemed settled, it all collapsed with the arrival of Shen Cizhu.

He defied the warnings of his genes and fell in love with Shen Cizhu.

But at that time, Shen Cizhu was still his brother’s lover.
